Billy Currington Returns To His Roots With New Album

Multi-platinum country hitmaker Billy Currington is back with his long-awaited seventh studio album, King Of The World, out today via MCA Nashville. Produced by longtime collaborator Carson Chamberlain, the 10-track collection marks a return to Currington’s signature sound — a blend of laid-back grooves, relatable storytelling, and pure country charm.

King Of The World reunites Currington with Chamberlain, who produced his first five albums, reigniting the creative chemistry that helped define some of Currington’s biggest hits. The project features songs penned by an all-star lineup of Nashville songwriters, including Dean Dillon, Scotty Emerick, Paul Overstreet, Ben Hayslip, Troy Jones, and Brent Cobb, among others.
